chapter three .htm Lily looked as if she was thinking long and hard, then as if remembering, her face unclouded and she said, "Yeah. Yeah we were. Once."
"Okay, so it was my first time at Hogwarts, I'm a muggle born so I had no idea where the platform was....
Lily Evan's looked every where in Kings Cross to find platform 9 and 3/4, but there was no such luck. She had thought about asking this slimy haired boy who looked like it was his first year too. She decided it was better than waiting there forever so she went up to the boy, who had just finished saying his good byes to his father and mother, who left shortly after.
"Excuse me-" Lily said, tapping the boys shoulder from behind. "Excuse me do you think you could help me find the platform?" The boy had a long hooked nose, and he was quite hideous. But he just stared at her, disgustedly. "Well, if you can't help me," Lily started impatiently.
"No, no, no, I can help you," he sneered unkindly, "Right this way." He steered her a broken down door at the end of the station. "Right through there," he said.
"There? Well surely this can't be-"
"This IS the door, you want to catch the train or not?" He sneered again.
Uneasily, Lily opened the door, and cautiously stepped in. At first it was dark, then a light came on. It was a closet. A small closet. At this Lily became frustrated, and tried to open the door. It was locked.
"Let me out!" She demanded.
"That's where mudbloods go, and that where they should stay!" He shouted back. She heard the foot steps of him walking away, and she started to cry. What was a mudblood any ways? She tried shouting again, but it was useless. She sat down and hugged her knees as she cried. She sat wondering if she would EVER get out. Then she heard talking outside the door. She leaned against the door to hear what it was they, if there was more than one, where talking about.
"Hey i think I heard something from inside that, door." said the voice, and then another voice was quick to agree, both male voices. And then the door opened and standing infront of her were two tall and handsome boys. One had glasses and untidy black hair. The one next to him had lighter brown hair with brown eyes. They looked incrediously at her for a moment, for there she was, her blazing green eyes with tears in them, and her fiery red hair up in a messy half bun.
"Geez, are you all right? By the way I'm James and this is Sirius." The Glasses guy said, lending a hand and helping her up.
" I'm Lily Evan's. And I guess I'm all right, I was forced in here by some greasy headed guy who called me a mudblood though."
James' eyes went narrow as boy next to him, Sirius, said angrily,
"Some guy called you a mudblood?"
"Yeah, but I don't even know what it means
and-"
"Will you show him to me," James asked. Lily pointed to the hooked nose kid standing next a blonde guy who looked equally evil.
"Snape, the bastard." Sirius muttered.
"We'll get im later," James said. "Now we have to get one the train, you wanna come Lily?"
"Sure, i have no one else to sit with."
They got on the train and found an empty compartment at the back of the train. **
Lily skipped the part about the train and went straight to the point.
By now, Lily had met Ginny and Evette, and has become great friends with them. And also a James Potter. During Defense against Dark Arts, a not was sent her way. she didn't get to see who passed it, so she just unfolded it, it read:
Dear Lily,
will you meet me at the lake tonight at 12 midnight? there's something I have to tell you, and its terrible important so please say you will,
Love
James p.
Lily looked back at James, who was looking at her expectantly, she nodded yes and he grinned. Lily sensed he was embarrassed, so she just smiled a wide smile and turned back to her own desk. She was filled with such a happiness it was hard to explain.
It was 11:30 and the common rooms occupation was decreasing too slowly, so Lily had Eve and Gin cover for her while she snuck out to the lake. It was just about 12:00 when she got there. She looked around and saw nobody. Her first thought was that she was set up, when a whisper came from behind her.
"You came," He said. Lily turned fast, her face inches from his.
"Yeah, well..." She breathed. She couldn't believe she was this close to her one and only. And before she knew what was happening James had pulled her into a deep kiss, leaving her breathless. Sure he wa only 11, but, damn. He was good. There was no tongue, just a soft lip touching, which actually felt better than you would think.
Then Lily pulled away and asked, "So why did you kiss me?" James looked at her.
"Because your very pretty Lils." He said, his arms around her waist, still close. Wrong move. Rule number one, don't give a girl her first kiss, then tell her it was only because she was pretty.
"What do you mean?" She asked frowning and backing away slightly.
"What I mean is your beautiful Lily." James was uncertain, wasn't that what he was suppose to say?
"Is that it?" She asked him incredulously. His hands were no long on her hips, for she had backed away too far for his arms.
"Well... yeah." Lilly's eyes brimmed with tears. She gave James a glare.
""You've just ruined my life James Potter, and Ill never forgive you!" And with that, Lily ran, ran away from him, far away, and he didn't see her till the next day, in which she avoided him at all costs, and even gave him icy glares. And this began the eternal hate between James H. Potter and Lily Ann Evan's.
"So that's it, he broke you heart?" Mena Tickler asked. Lily had a glazed look on her face.
"Yeah, but he also taught me something: never trust young adolescent boys who are going through puberty."
Lily went to her trunk and pulled out a pair of muggle clothes. It was okay to wear whatever you like when you weren't in the classrooms. Or, you wouldn't get in trouble if you didn't get caught. She lent Eve and Gin some clothes, since they were pureblooded and always wore robes. She pulled out some dark blue jeans for them and a a few heavy cotton sweaters. Christmas was a weekend away and it was cold on the Hogwarts grounds. They were planning to hang in their hide out, right near the pond under the Whomping Willow. Or kind of of under, there was a passage. It had just been planted the first year Lily and her friends came in their first year and it lead to the shrieking shack. They always went there to find new things to do to torture James. It was just like a sanctuary to them
a sanctuary.
